Sediment Sampling

An understanding of the nature of sediment on the beach is important in informing our understanding of current and future changes to the coast. When linked to information about the nature of sediment elsewhere it is possible to start to develop models of how the sediment may be being transported and from where it has come.

Over the longer term changes in sediment can provide an early indication of developing changes in exposure conditions on the coastline.
